Board 8 > Rate the Character Day 22: Dracula (Dracula)

(+) Yeah! (+)

Welcome to the most must-see recurring thread on Board 8. I'm scarletspeed7, and this is Rate the Character. I'll pick a category, you pick a character, and every day we'll rate one character. You are the raters, they are the characters, you rate the characters. Boom.

Yesterday, Leon Kennedy slotted spot #3 with an 8.088 average.

All ratings are on scale of 1-10. You may rate any previous characters you have yet to rate at any point; please post them in the thread. No more than ten retro-ratings per day.

As a character, Dracula is tough to rate for me. I'm giving him a 6.5. I think that so many derivative or poor portrayals hurt the character.
---

This IS tough. There's some great Draculas and there are some really bad Draculas.

I'm going to be a little more critical than you, I think. 5.5.

Hi scarlet.

On the back of Castlevania Dracula

6, but I'm rating the original book version.
---

7. probably would not main him in Save My Iconic Character, but I'd give him secondary support
---

I honestly have no idea what to rate him, so I think I'll just abstain for today.
---

8/10

Bela Lugosi and Christopher Lee are enough to eclipse the bad Draculas out there.
---

The only dracula movie I've seen is Batman vs Dracula.

Okay not really, I've seen Van Helsing and that dumb reborn thing... whatever its name is. Also have some exposure to Marvel's Dracula who is a little cool and obviously I know the actual character. The true vampire whose name spawns generations and... Eh... A lot of crap. 5.5/10

5.5

original was solid, but the character's become such a bland and flat version of what was once a good character
---

6

Cool concept bogged down by my personal under exposure if the good stuff and over exposure if the bad stuff
